into a top on a sewing pin. I was thinking about using polymer clay, but its a medium I have not used before.

To get the faces on would I be able to draw it on with a sharpie or acrylic paint?

Hi bambam91! Yep, you can draw on polymer clay with a Sharpie marker. (after it's baked) But long term, Sharpies aren't the best medium to use as they can become fugitive and fade or turn yellow over time. There are other ways of painting on poly clay, but what I do is use acrylic paints (they are very color fast) and then when completely dry a light coat of satin poly finish sprayed or painted on. This is especially good if the object is going to be handled a lot- polyurethane finish is really durable and will extend the life your pieces.You can probably do the same thing if you were to use Sharpies, but the colors are still susceptible to UV rays and would still fade.If you have Copic markers, you can use those as well. They are awesome on polycaly! I would still use a polyurethane finish as eventually the markers would wear away after lots of use.Hope that helps!

Hey, no problem. You should post some pics after you finish them!BTW, I had a good look at those marshmallows in the link...I think the faces are photo-shopped on! Yours will be all the more wonderful and unique because they will be authentic.
